School and Class Photos at Jenks Library

Jenks Library holds many group photos of school children, some with the teacher, from many years back into the 1880s. Many are labelled, though some are presently a mystery. This page lists the photos we have by school and year. To find a specific person, try our Name Index. These pages are under construction and will grow over time; please check back. Graduation & Senior portraits are indexed with other photos of individuals in a separate Index.

If you have corrections to the names, can help us identify individuals, or have other photos to add to the collection, we would love to talk to you. Please contact us.
